In order to develope high concentration$\cdot$yield ozonizer, superposed discharge type ozonizer using overlap of silent discharge and internal electrode of mesh type has been designed and manufactured. It consists of three electrodes(central electrode, internal electrode and external electrode) and double gaps(gap between central electrode and internal electrode, gap between internal electrode and external electrode). Therefore, ozone is generated by overlapping silent discharges generated between the gaps respectively for which the AC high voltages applied to the internal electrode and the external electrode has a $180{[^\circ]}$ phase difference and for which the central electrode is a ground Ozone generation characteristics proportional to mesh of internal electrode by increasing of discharge electrode and controlling of discharge power density. As a result, the in maximum ozone concentration, generation, and yield can be obtained 17,720[ppm], 5.4[g/h], and 205[g/kwh] respectively.

To generate negative ion, a small dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor was used in this study and operated by high AC voltage. With increasing of voltage, we can get more negative ions. However unfortunately, if the input voltage is too high, it will also cause formation of ozone which is very harmful to human being health. So the work of finding out the best condition of Voltage and frequency was carried out firstly. After several times of measurement, operating at 20 kHz frequency is the best condition generating high ion concentration without ozone. For the purpose of finding out the best reactor structure, two types of surface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors were examined to produce negative oxygen ions at the conditions of 20 kHz frequency. The results indicated that the surface DBD reactor with several small tips showed better characteristics for generation of negative oxygen ions at the same condition.

A hybrid discharge type ozonizer, which is superposed silent and surface discharges, has been designed and manufactured to apply for Nitrogen Oxides(NO) gas removal. The ozonizer consists of three electrodes, and is classified three types of ozonizer by changing applied voltage. Investigation was carried out variance with the flow rate of supplied oxygen gas, discharge power and the sorts of superposed discharge type ozonizer. Moreover, $NO(1200[ppm])/N_2$ gas removal investigation was also conducted to apply for environment improvement field. Two kinds of NO gas removal investigations were conducted. It distinguishes the investigations into NO gas reaction method. According to these studies, maximum removal rate of 100[%] in NO gas was obtained, and 8334[ppm] and 3249[mg/h] of maximum ozone concentration and generation were also obtained respectively.

In order to understand the characteristics of surface ozone concentration and high $O_3$ concentration days, regional data from seven air quality monitoring stations which were operated by local governments were analyzed Regional characteristics of $O_3$ concentration were analyzed with the data of $O_3$ concentration and the characteristics of $O_3$ generation and weather conditions by the selection of the days in which the concentration was higher than 80 ppb. In the case of daily variation, the lowest $O_3$ concentration was shown in all regions from 7am to 8am and the highest around at 4 pm. The monthly variation of mean $O_3$ concentration and ${\Delta}O_3$ values revealed a reducing pattern in July and August following the peak in June, and again a gradual increasing trend in September and October. The result shows that the amount of ozone is dependent on photochemical reaction. The days of $O_3$ generated more than 80 ppb in the region of Gwangyang-bay were 544 days(1,760 hrs). The frequency of occurrence in the region revealed a strong pattern with the order of Samil-dong, Jinsang, and Gwangmu-dong stations in the Gwangyang region. However, Tein-dong, which is the nearest station to air pollution material generation source, showed the lowest frequency in the study area. Consequently, the meteorological parameters which can easily generate the high concentration of $O_3$ in the region of Gwangyang-bay are characterized as follows; atmospheric temperature which is higher than $19^{\circ}C$, relative humidity with the range of $60{\sim}85%$, the less average wind velocity than 5 m/s, cloud cover which is less than 5/10, and the more duration of sunshine than 8 hours.

In this study nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), OMI/ Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) tropospheric column ozone (TCO), and Airkorea ground-based O₃ data were analyzed to examine the photochemical reaction relationship between tropospheric ozone and its precursors nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As a result of analyzing the trend of long-term changes from 2006 to 2020 using OMI satellite data, TCO showed an increasing trend, NO₂ steadily decreased, and HCHO continued to increase in Northeast Asia. In addition, formaldehyde nitrogen dioxide ratio (FNR; HCHO/NO₂ ratio), an indicator of ozone sensitivity, is gradually increasing, which means that the VOC-limited regime is decreasing. This study conducted a sensitivity analysis of ozone generation using TROPOMI FNR and ground-based ozone (O₃) over the recent years (2019~2022) to identify the possible cause for the continuous increase of ozone in Korea. Similar to the previous studies, VOC-limited and transitional regimes appeared in megacities, and VOC-limited regimes also appeared in areas where major power plants were located. In VOC-limited regimes, in other words, areas where NOx is excessively saturated, the reduction in NOx emissions may have weakened the ozone titration and thus led to the increase of ozone. Therefore, VOC emissions should be reduced in the short term rather than NOx emissions to reduce ozone concentrations under the VOC-limited regime.

A silent type ozone generator using water surface electrode was proposed. And it was investigated experimentally that a variation of water conductivity affected to water surface discharge. Important factors affecting to water surface discharge are ions in discharge space and ions and polarized molecules in water and so on. In this study, It was intended to change the characteristics of discharge by controlling the number of ions in water. The number of ions in water could be controlled by changing the water conductivity. Water conductivity was controlled by quantity of inserted NaCl to distilled water. At this time, current-voltage characteristics and characteristics of ozone generation quantity were investigated in each case. As a result, when NaCl was inserted in distilled water, more stable discharge was generated. As the quantity of NaCl was increased, discharge starting voltage could be lowered.

The market for improving the indoor air quality is continuously increasing, and air cleaners are the representative products. As interest in indoor air quality increases, so are the ultrafine particle which are harmful to the human body. Despite its many advantages, electrostatic precipitators are less used in indoor air due to ozone production. In this study, the carbon fiber sheet was applied to the discharge electrode and compared with the conventional tungsten wire discharge electrode. The particle collection efficiency and the amount of ozone generation were measured for 10-100 nm particles. Furthermore, it was applied to commercial air purifier with electrostatic precipitator to compare particle removal performance. The carbon fiber sheet type discharge electrode generates a small amount of ozone, and thus it can be applied to improve indoor air quality.

The following results are deduced from each experiment and analysis. The magnitudes of carbon and silicon were similar to the survey spectrum of silicon wafer which does not cleaning, but magnitude of oxygen was much bigger Because UV light activates oxygen molecules in the oxide film on the silicon wafer.

For two engine design parameters; compression ratio and intake swirl ratio, measurement of concentrations of hydrocarbon species has been made as a function of various air-fuel ratio in order to investigate the ozone formation of HC emissions from LPG fuel. Higher compression ratio gave lower SR values due to larger aIkan species and higher BSR values because of larger NMHC generation. Swirl ratio did not affect HC emissions and ozone formation. For ${\lambda}=1.1{\sim}1.2$, higher SR values resulted from the species of aIken which has higher MIRs were highly produced. Leaner mixture showed lower SR values due to the increase of the aIkan which has a lower MIR.
